I'm giving this hotel five stars compared to other hotels in its class (not comparing it to high-end luxury hotels). We recently spent four days here with our son, daughter-in-law and grandkids ages 4 1/2 and 2 1/2. It was a mini-vacation, principally to take our grandkids to the Natural History Museum and the Air and Space Museum, both within... More

Just spent 3 days visiting the monuments and museums. As others have mentioned the location is in a pretty uninteresting office location just 4 blocks south of the Air & Space museum. The area seems pretty safe - no problems walking from Metrorail station to hotel. But it is very quiet at night and weekends. There is a commuter rail... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in January. This hotel is only 4-5 blocks away from the National Mall and the Air and Space Museum. It is also very close to a metro station. The only thing it's not close to is places to eat. There are a few fast food type places around but they all close pretty early.... More

I stayed here on business last week to attend meetings at our HQ office just 2 blocks away. It was great to be so close to the office, but the food and entertainment options are quite limited in this area. The rooms were in impeccable shape and couldn't complain at all about cleanliness. Hotel common areas were too hot. I... More

Two teenagers and two adults enjoyed our stay in two bedroom apartment with two bathrooms and 3 TVs with kitchen. Four blocks to safeway supermarket at Waterfront metro to cater for own meals less than 10 minute walk. Free breakfast pretty basic. We couldn't eat any of the hot food as it was pretty poor quality but fruit cereal yoghurt... More

We just returned from a great 3-night stay with our family of 4. Location is within reasonable walking distance to EVERYTHING-(museums, national mall, capital, etc) even with a teen and tween in tow. It is in a QUIET business district in a good section of town. The hotel offers a FREE breakfast buffet that we all enjoyed with alot of... More

Overall, this hotel surprised me. You often hear story about how DC is not safe, try to stay outside of the core area. We had a fantastic time. First, the hotel is about 5 mins walk to the Capitol building and the mall, which is extremely convenient, given that is the focus of most trips to DC. The staff were... More

This is our first night at the Residence Inn Capitol, and we are very impressed. Check-in was seemless, and we received 2 adjoining studios as requested. I was concerned about the parking, as we have a Ford Expedition XL, but we had no problems. It is tight getting into the garage, but once down there we had no trouble fitting... More

For starters the front desk staff told me that somehow my reservation was cancelled 2 days prior to my arrival when Marriott Corporate and the website etc. said the reservation was still valid. The hotel said they would find me a room since the reservation was somehow cancelled and did give me a room. And then of course I was... More
